When Da Wa went to call the village chief, the village chief had just gotten up.
"Big Baby, why are you here so early?"
Da Wa said respectfully, "Village Chief, my mother asked me to call you over to discuss the name I asked you to look at yesterday."
The village chief stroked his beard when he heard this. Logically speaking, the lady of the Xia family was not such an ignorant person.
The eldest son in their family is even more well-educated and he looked at the eldest son in confusion.
Seeing that his back was very straight, he gave some instructions to his mother-in-law and followed Da Wa.
When he arrived at the Xia family, the village chief felt something was wrong.
There was no sound in the yard and the house was full of people.
The Xia family, the Zhang family and Doctor Jin are all here. It shouldn't be necessary to make such a big fuss just to discuss a name.
When the village chief entered the house, he smiled and said, "Manny, I have already chosen the name you want."
"Village chief, please sit down. What are the names?"
"The eldest child is named Xia Hongda, so I named the second child Xia Hongwei and the third child Xia Hongji."
"As for Si Ni'er, she'll be named Xia Lingxuan, and Er Gou will be named Zhao Yingyi."
When the children heard that their names were given, they forgot the shock of reading the letter just now and took the name cards from the village chief.
"Thank you, village chief. The children's names are very good."
At this time, Da Wa had already brought a cup of tea, and the village chief took it.
Xia Manni waited until the village chief had finished drinking tea before showing the letter to him.
"This is?"
"Village chief, please take a look first."
The village chief looked at Xia Manni's solemn expression, then at the silent Dr. Jin and Zhang Cuiling who looked anxious.
He slowly opened the letter.
The more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed. He read very slowly the first time for fear of missing a word, and then he read very quickly the second time as if he was afraid of making a mistake.
Village chief An Qingnian raised his head, looked at Xia Manni and asked, "Who sent this?"
To put it bluntly, this is a military secret and ordinary people won't get it.
If they hadn't received this news in advance, their village would have been like an ant on hot pot.
Xia Manni replied, "Does the village chief still remember Wu Dayong? He sent this."
"Is this news true?"
"I believe in Brother Wu, and if it's fake, what's the purpose of giving us this news?"
Jin Zian also said: "I think it is true."
The village chief just didn't want to believe it. After all, this was a disaster for Shi'an Village.
"Village Chief, it must have taken several days for this letter to arrive here. If they had already left, it would have been within the past few days, or after the first lunar month."
An Qingnian also thought of this, but all the able-bodied men in their village had already left.
Zhang Cuiling thought for a moment and asked, "How about reporting it to the police?"
The village chief shook his head and said, "We have no solid evidence, and the prefect is not particularly easy to talk to."
Xia Manni: "Then we can only rely on ourselves."
The village chief asked, “What do you think?”
Since they called him here, they must have already had an idea.
Xia Manni looked at everyone and said, "Big Boy, tell me."
Da Wa didn't expect Xia Manni to ask him to speak. He thought for a moment and said, "Internally, we need to gather all the villagers, have people patrolling every day, and teach them some defensive techniques. During this process, we can only go out less. As for the outside, we have to..."
When he said this, he looked at Jin Zian.
Jin Zian raised his eyebrows and said, "You want me to poison you?"
Da Wa smiled and said, "Or maybe there's some other way to deceive people."
At this time, Erwa suddenly said: "I know a little. The master taught me a little, but I only know a little."
Xia Manni and others knew that Erwa was talking about Qimen Dunjia, but Erwa had never tried it.
Erwa continued, "We can also build a lookout tower. I heard Master say that before. This way, if the enemy comes, we will know in advance."
An Qingnian nodded continuously, "Big and Second Boy said it very well. I didn't expect that Big Boy knows a lot, but Second Boy also knows a lot at such a young age."
Xia Manni added, "Perhaps the one with the highest martial arts skills here is Erwa. I guess Erwa will have to be the coach when the time comes."
After hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Erwa jokingly, and the atmosphere in the room finally became lively.
Zhang Cuiling remembered something important and asked, "Does this count as private military training?"
An Qingnian said nonchalantly: "Without weapons, without military tokens, not leaving the village is just an emergency measure, it doesn't count."
Jin Zian snorted coldly and said nothing.
Xia Manni also felt that it would be difficult to say at that time, but now was not the time to think about those things.
The most important thing is to be alive, and Shi'an Village is so good, she doesn't want anything to happen to the village.
They discussed some details together and made careful arrangements.
There is a forest on the outermost edge of Shi'an Village, which is their only advantage.
The forest was handed over to Jin Zian and Si Ni'er. The village chief didn't know what the final result would be and was a little worried.
Jin Zian said coldly, "I have only one request. You are not allowed to leave the village. Otherwise, I will not care whether you live or die."
The village chief An Qingnian had nothing to refute and just said, "Of course, of course."
As for the construction of the lookout tower and the creation of various weapons, it was left to Da Wa.
Because the second child can only describe, but the eldest child can draw it.
An Qingnian said: "That's easy. There are several carpenters in our village. It won't be a problem if we ask them all to follow suit."
